Hi all,
I just bought the above model less than 1 month ago, it came with 1TB SSD PCIe by default, it's mentioned on the laptop that it supports dual M.2 slots + one HDD slot. I want to increase the storage as my projects files are eating up my current storage, so my question is: 

1. What's the maximum capacity I can upgrade to in total? (that the board can support)
2. Can i put SSD in the 3 above mentioned slots? or it's only 2 M.2 SSD and the 3rd 2.5 has to be normal HD?
3. It's mentioned that my system is Intel Optane ready, so is it worth to change to it?

Thanks for you all.

Hi,
1. You have 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, you can install another 1TB M.2 SSD in the second slot and 2TB 2.5" HDD/SSD in the HDD bay.
2. Yes, you can use a 2.5" SSD in the HDD bay.
3. You already have a faster M.2 SSD as a boot drive, so you don't need Intel Optane, M.2 SSD is faster than Intel optane.
